It appears to have two thumbs, and is about to catch a cosmic Frisbee. How cool is that?

Looks like religious art.
Probably a photoshopped combination of an extended hand with one or more astronomical nebulas. Looks color enhanced, too.
Sadly, some will be fooled into thinking it’s an authentic photograph of an actual cosmic structure, which could then be misrepresented as physical evidence for some supernatural deity. But then, it’s amazing what some people will believe.

AngelPlume,
The picture links to a little place I like to call “National Geographic.” You can’t get much more credible than that!

I would like to purchase a print of PRS B1590-58 and a print of the earlier nebulae called the eye of God. I think it would be beautiful to inscribe under the hand Luke 21:28 But when these signs appear look up, for your redemption is at hand. and under the eye Luke 21:25 There will be signs in the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and on Earth the nations will be in dismay.

Hello,
It can’t be the hand of ‘God’ can it… if we are supposed to be in his image then why don’t we have three fingers and two thumbs as well? A simple objection, I know

This is a real picture taken by scientist with their microscopes. The scientist say that it was a star exploding turning into a supernova. What we see as fingers is just an interaction of particles and gas, and it just happens that from where we sit on earth they look like fingers. It has taken 1700 years to reach earth. Meaning it would’ve been formmed during the era the bible was written in. Why some people say its the hand of God. I believe in god, but i dont believe that this is his hand.
